This is one seat ballot, not a popular presidential election or a national party vote. The absolute-majority threshold is calculated from valid ballots. No winner is marked until a named candidate obtains more than half; votes for unspecified others are retained as an unattributed aggregate and cannot be treated as an elected individual. Candidate affiliations are entered where the source identifies them; otherwise they remain explicitly unverified. Different seats and rounds have separate denominators.
